(CDP) develops a patent pending system of fuel injection for Direct Injection (DI) applications.

This direct injection 3,498 cc power plant is 30 per cent more economical than before, yet with 306 hp at 6,500 rpm and 370 Nm of torque at 3,500 - 5,250 rpm it also delivers sharper performance, accelerating the two-seater to 62 mph in 5.9 seconds and onto a 155 mph electronically limited top speed.

The Units are available in either direct injection or closed circuit configurations for controlled cooling.

The Micra's engine is a direct injection unit with a supercharger, and uses the Miller cycle and direct petrol injection to raise the engine's compression ratio for greater combustion efficiency and the supercharger for instant throttle response and added power.

While similar in theory to "direct-injection" systems, which also inject fuel directly into cylinders, such direct injection systems are difficult to use on small-displacement engines because they require a high-pressure pump that complicates system design, making component layout less cost-efficient.

AT one time, direct injection petrol engines were almost as economical as diesels.

Continental, one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, developed such an innovative technology and is the first to mass-produce the gasoline Piezo direct injection system.

The Pinin five-door gets a 2.0-litre direct injection petrol engine instead of the three-door model's 1.8, and this is enough to make it faster than most.

EcoBoost isn't entirely new technology, at least not to Europeans, who are already familiar with the concept of direct injection (DI).
